International Business and Cultural Coaching.

Cross-Cultural Leadership Coaching

In today’s global economy collaboration across borders is becoming the norm as employees at all levels interact with colleagues and business partners on the other side of the world, as well as with people from other national and professional cultures sitting next to us. This creates many great opportunities for collaboration and sharing of ideas, but it can also lead to misunderstandings and frustrations that negatively impact productivity and teamwork.

Coaching can help organisations and individuals become more culturally competent and effective in today’s global business environment by:

Increasing cultural awareness

Leveraging cultural diversity

Becoming an effective cross-cultural communicator

Preparing for overseas assignments

Overcoming culture shock

CROSS-CULTURAL AWARENESS

Living and working overseas as an expatriate provides a great career opportunity. It also requires you to adapt to an unfamiliar culture. Questions of belonging, making connections, establishing friendships, and rediscovering your identity are going to come up. To thrive you need to shift your cultural perspective and adapt your behaviour. Working through those questions and the adaptive challenges they bring is much easier with a coach.
